REPORT WARNS

OF DIESEL FUMES RISK KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MCT) — Leticia DeCaigny straps a portable airsampling device to the side of a neighbor’s deck. For two days, the small gray box with what looks like a chimney on top will gather evidence of pollution from diesel engines.

“It’s like a human lung,” sucking in air as a person would breathe, DeCaigny says as she pushes some buttons that set the device whirring.

Just a few blocks away is the BNSF Railway’s vast Argentine rail yard, where switch engines move hundreds of freight cars to assemble trains headed for destinations across the country.

For generations, the yard has been the lifeblood of this economically challenged Kansas City, Kan., neighborhood, providing jobs and attracting industry.

The trains rolling by make a constant, even reassuring sound.

But DeCaigny knows neighbors who regularly smell the diesel exhaust from the locomotives and the trucks that pick up and drop off cargo. She knows neighbors who can’t go outside for long without risking an asthma attack.

And she knows about the growing body of research that links diesel exhaust to a host of health problems — lung diseases, cancer, heart attacks and premature births.

So, with the help of a national environmental organization, DeCaigny has been taking this monitor from house to house for the past eight months to gather air samples in Argentine and the adjacent Turner neighborhood, where she lives and which also borders the rail yard.

The preliminary results

from November through mid-June reveal what the environmentalists she is working with consider to be unhealthy levels of diesel exhaust, levels high enough on some days to send the elderly to the hospital or to raise the death rate among residents.

BNSF officials, who have reviewed the environmentalists’ preliminary report, said it is too short on essential details about how the data were collected to judge

its validity. But they said the kind of short-term sampling that was done isn’t enough to establish trends. A single “uncommon event” could throw off the readings coming from any of the sites where the monitor was placed.

Other factors, such as the weather and two busy highways — Interstate 635, which runs through the rail yard, and Interstate 70 to its north — also could affect the numbers, they said.

But Denny Larson, executive director of Global Community Monitor, which provided DeCaigny the air monitor, said air sampled at seven of the 16 sites where DeCaigny placed the monitor contained diesel pollution at unhealthy levels, enough to indicate a disturbing pattern.

“It’s starting to show it’s a regular occurrence that the diesel is creating a health threat,” he said. “There are days in Argentine and Turner when it’s really unhealthy to breathe the air, and people should know that.”

With international trade booming, environmentalists are focusing greater attention on the diesel pollution from ports and intermodal hubs, where cargo is transferred.

Containerized shipping, using standardized metal boxes, makes it easy to move cargo from ship’s hold to a freight train or tractor-trailer, all powered by diesel engines.

Global Community Monitor, a nonprofit environmental justice organization, also is working with environmental groups to monitor air quality in Galena Park, Texas, which receives much of the truck traffic from the Port of Houston, and in the large Gulf port of Plaquemines Parish, La. Environmentally conscious California, where most cargo from Asia arrives, has been in the forefront of research and regulation of diesel exhaust at its ports.

“We get all the pollution with no real direct benefit to the community,” said Andrea Hricko of the University of Southern California’s Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center.

Carroll completes RAGBRAI’s fourth day on unicycle

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

MASON CITY — Jon Carroll met the challenge Wednesday.

The 54-year-old from Creston pedaled nearly 40 miles — from Forest City to Mason City — to successfully complete the fourth day of the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) on his unicyle. He was one of more than 8,000 riders from across the United States.

“I arrived about 4 p.m. (in Mason City).

That was a couple hours quicker than I expected,” Carroll said.

Carroll has been training for RAGBRAI on his 28-inch wheel unicycle for the past five months.

He started the day Contributed photo at 7 a.m. near For- Jon Carroll of Creston est City with a group pedals on the RAGBRAI of seven others from route Wednesday. southwest and central Iowa, including Chris Leonard — athletic trainer at Greater Regional Medical Center — who pedaled a 1941 single-speed Schwinn bicycle the entire fourth day.

“I traveled anywhere from 8 to 12 miles per hour (on the unicycle),” Carroll said, “and took breaks every 20 to 30 minutes. My legs really aren’t too bad, but I do have some tender areas.”

Carroll said the support he received from other riders on the route Wednesday was overwhelming.

“There weren’t too many unicyclists out there,” he said.

Today, Carroll puts the unicycle away and will ride two wheels from Mason City to Waverly. The route today is 66 miles. Temperatures for today’s ride will be comfortable with highs only reaching the upper 70s.

RAGBRAI concludes Saturday in Guttenberg.

Lions clubs administer KidSight program Iowa Lions KidSight is a joint project of the Lions clubs in Iowa and the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital Department of Ophthalmology.

There have been 2,424 screening sessions so far this year as of May. Thirty-nine thousand two hundred and twenty six children received screening with 2,683 requiring referral to a local eye care professional.

If vision problems are not detected and treated during the early stages of development, amblyopia (lazy eye) can result causing perma-

nent vision loss.

The Lions clubs of Afton, Clearfield and Creston have purchased a digital camera that will enable them to screen young children between the ages of 6 and 48 months. The screenings are done at child care facilities with preschool children and children in kindergarten for free.

Eight members from the Afton, Clearfield and Creston Lions clubs took training on the digital camera July 12.

This is the main service project that these clubs do for their community.

Deaths Evelyn Sanders Council Bluffs

Evelyn M. Sanders, 75, of Council Bluffs died July 18, 2014, at her home.

Memorial services will be 2 p.m. Sunday, July 27, at Epworth United Methodist Church, 2447 Avenue B, Council Bluffs. Burial of cremated remains will be at a later date. Visitation with family present will be 1 p.m. to service time Sunday at the church. Memorials may be directed to the family.

Evelyn M. Sanders, daugther of Lucille (Paige) and Walter Jackson, was born Nov. 24, 1938, in Creston.

Evelyn worked as a custodian for FBG and service master.

On Feb. 20, 1988, Evelyn married Paul Sanders.

Evelyn is survived by her husband Paul of Council Bluffs; sons, Charles (wife Karyn) Shimer of Council Bluffs, Carl (wife Dawn) Shimer of Waynesville, Mo., Robert (wife Tracy) Shimer of Avoca and William (wife Nikki) Shimer of Des Moines; 16 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and brother Charles (wife Dorothy) Jackson of Creston.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents and sister Maryann Louise in infancy.

RAGBRAI heads toward Independence, finishes Saturday INDEPENDENCE — Residents of this Buchanan County community, the last overnight stop on the 2014 RAGBRAI, are preparing for a quadrupling of the city’s population when an estimated 15,000 cyclists — plus their support personnel — pedal into town on Friday.

Mayor Bonita Davis said more than 400 volunteers have been working for weeks to prepare the city and its 5,967 residents for its throng of guests.

“We are all a little nervous and excited, but we are glad they are coming.

It’s a chance to make a good impression on people from all over the world,” said Davis, who, as with many of her fellow residents, will be hosting as many as 20 riders in her home, with the possibility of overflow onto her lawn.

“We’ve got it covered from beginning to end,” with volunteers lined up to greet the riders on their way into town and to bid them farewell when they leave Saturday, en route to their journey’s end in Guttenberg, Davis said.

Accommodating all the guests is a huge undertaking, according to Michelle McBride, director of the Independence Area Chamber of Commerce and a leader of the Indee RAGBRAI Executive Committee.

With riders joining the caravan as it nears its end, McBride said the ride’s population typically peaks at the last overnight stop.

Riders will spend the night in private homes, on lawns and at seven designated campgrounds equipped with portable restrooms and showers, she said.

Just short of 190 portable restrooms will be scattered around the town, McBride said.

Riverwalk Parks — just a short walk up the Wapsipinicon River from

downtown — will be the hub of activity, said Mike McGill, who heads the hospitality and publicity subcommittees.

Boogie Wonderland, a Minneapolis band, will headline the entertainment at the park on Friday evening.

McGill said committee members will communicate via two-way radio as a precaution in case the anticipated high volume of cellphone traffic disrupts service.

The beverage garden at the park alone has close to 350 volunteers working different shifts, McGill said.

Proceeds from beverage sales will be used provide grants to not-for-profit community organizations, McBride said.

Plenty of glow-in-thedark souvenirs, along with brightly colored commemorative T-shirts, will highlight the event’s theme, Glowing on the River, McGill said.

Metal signs with the Glowing on the River logo and old bicycles freshly painted in vivid purple, orange and neon green will decorate the route into and out of town while underscoring the “glow” theme.

McGill said experience gained seven years ago when Independence hosted a RAGBRAI overnight stop has come in handy this year.

“Probably 50 percent of our committee members were involved in 2007,” he said.

“Everything is coming together and falling into place, but we can always use more volunteers,” said Executive Committee member Bill Versluis.

Volunteers can call the chamber at (319) 334-7178 to get an assignment.

Today is July 24, the 205th day of the year.

There are 160 days left in 2014. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (July 21-27) in history.

5 years ago Greenfield was host city for the second leg of RAGBRAI. Bicyclists made the 72-mile trek from Red Oak. Ginny Kuhfus, Greenfield Chamber/Main Street and development director, said the town was prepared with vendors and overnight accommodations for 20,000 people. Entertainment included several bands including The Nadas and a special “Laugh-In” rendition performed by the Cumberland Rose Players at the E.E. Warren Opera House. As riders left Greenfield, they traveled to Indianola, which took participants through Orient and Macksburg.

Chris and Amanda Standley were nominated to receive The Gary Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award, but after Amanda survived a near-fatal auto accident, the couple decided the award should go to family members, friends and neighbors who assisted them with farm duties and personal support after the accident.

Hricko’s research has found that in California counties with major rail yards, nearby residents are more likely to be people of color, and with low incomes.

“There are already health disparities with income, but this adds an environmental factor,” Hricko said.

Of great concern to environmentalists are the very small particles that circulate in the air. The particles can come from dust, smoke from a fire or exhaust from a tailpipe.

Once inhaled, they can stay trapped in the lungs and affect the heart, blood vessels and lungs.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency has air-quality regulations for particles 2.5 microns or smaller in width. Such particles are invisible to the naked eye, less than one-thirtieth the width of a human hair.

The entire state of Kansas, including Wyandotte County and the Argentine rail yard, meets EPA standards for this kind of pollution.

The closest air-quality monitoring station to the Argentine rail yard is at the John F. Kennedy Community Center, a few miles to the north.

For more than six years, there’s been “a steady, steady drop” in particulate pollution from that site, said Tom Gross, the air monitoring and planning chief of the Kansas Bureau of Air, which does the monitoring for the EPA. “We view that as good news.”

Larson, of Global Community Monitor, said, “We agree with the state of Kansas and everybody else that if you look just at 2.5-micron particulates, there’s not a problem.”

But there is no regular federal monitoring of air pollution from the soot particles, called black or

DeCaigny’s monitor is designed to pick up this kind of pollution.

Unlike other fine particles that disperse over large areas, elemental carbon tends to stay close to where it is produced. So high readings are most likely along roads with heavy truck traffic or in the immediate vicinity of a rail yard.

studies to come up with threshold levels for what should be considered unhealthy levels of diesel pollution.

One study linked high levels of diesel exhaust to increased hospitalizations for heart and lung problems among people ages 65 and older. The other study found that death rates among all ages were higher two or three days after a spike in diesel pollution.

“When those levels reach these thresholds, there’s an immediate risk,” Larson said. “It’s from shortterm exposure.”

For the record Police

Norman Dallas Olson, 36, 1119 S. Lincoln St., was charged on two Union County warrants for obstruction of emergency communication and domestic abuse assault by strangulation 7:31 a.m. Wednesday at Union County Law Enforcement Center.

According to a Creston Police report, on July 17, officers were dispatched to Union County Law Enforcement Center to speak with a female about an assault that had happened in the early morning hours.

Upon arrival, officers met with the female. She told officers she and Olson had been arguing throughout the day. Oldson did not live with her, but they have a two and a-half year-old child together who lives with her. The female said around 1 a.m. on July 17, she was awakened by Olson, who was knocking on the door and windows of her house. She went and let Olson inside the house, and they continued to argue.

The female told Olson to leave. He refused and continued arguing. The female said she was going to call the police to have him removed from the house, and Olson then took the female’s phone from her, preventing her from calling the police.

The female attempted to get her phone back, and Olson got physical by holding her down by her throat and choking her. He also banged her head against the floor several times. The female was able to fight back to get the phone away from Olson. Olson then left the residence. While at the law enforcement center, the fe-

OPINION

Sweet corn time is upon us I know I’ve been getting my sweet corn fix taken care of as of late. You only have a couple of months to take advantage of the fresh, off the cob stuff. You can always can or freeze it, but it is just not the same as pulling off the husk, heating and letting the butter flow over the fresh golden ear of corn. All the spring rains have made for a good crop of sweet corn this year. Get it while it’s hot!

McKinley This Saturday is the McKinley Park Festival. The events start at 3:30 p.m. There is plenty of fun and food for the whole family — everything from a kids fishing contest to the annual talent show.

Word has it that Mr. Riley will be here to personally MC the talent show. The night will finish off with a wonderful fireworks show shot off by the Creston Shooters. So come out and join the fun.

There is a hog roast that only costs $5, so come out and enjoy a nice evening in McKinley Park.

Sir Paul I did see Paul McCartney a couple of weeks back and would highly recommend it to anyone.

It’s the best show I have seen. If you are going to spend money to see a concert, this is the one to do. He played a 39-song set and didn’t leave the stage for a swig of water until time for the encores. The concert lasted almost three hours. Not bad for a 72 year old.

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

Most of the county fairs are now in the books for the year.

Now it is onto the Iowa State Fair starting Aug. 7.

Don’t forget to buy your tickets in advance. You can save yourself a few dollars on the gate admission. If the advanced forecast holds, we may be in for some pretty good weather during the 10-day run of the fair. There is nothing like a corn dog or turkey leg at the state fair to make your day.

40 Years I had a chance to visit many of my “old classmates” this past weekend with the 40th reunion of the class of 1974. I went to Lincoln Southeast High, which had almost 500 members in its class.

About 140 made it back for the reunion. I had a great time talking to people who are scattered across the United States and even one old friend who works in Australia. One of my classmates was an Olympic gymnast and could still do front flips and cartwheels like he was 16. The four evenings of talking and catching up went real fast. I could have used a couple of more days to get a few more stories.

Letters to the editor

Times have changed Tax dollars not necessary for a new library

From Jean Ide Creston

My name is Jean Ide, and I am on the library board. I was appointed by the Union County Board of Supervisors to represent residents who lived in Union County, but not in Creston. Hence, the new name of Creston Area Library.

I have always lived here. I went to a one-room schoolhouse until I was in eighth grade. Our country school did NOT have a library, and I wanted books to read. Using the Creston library was not an option because my family went to town on Friday afternoon to buy groceries, and I was in school.

Finally, my mom decided that I should take piano lessons on Saturday morning. This meant I could go

to the library and PAY to get my library card. Imagine a little girl going up all the steps on the east side of the library and there directly in front of her was the large, never-smiling, Miss Ball, THE librarian.

Times have changed. The board wants the library to be the best it can be. We want it to be up to date. We want all children to have help learning to read so that our literacy scores are raised. We want all the good things that modern libraries can provide. We want what no one could have imagined 60 years ago.

After hours of research and discussion and consultation with our architect, the board did what we were appointed to do. We decided that it would be best for our constituents to change the name and the address of the library.

2014

From Jeromy Brown Creston

As a new library board member last year, I approached the Lincoln-to-Library effort with an open mind. As a native of Humboldt County up north, I didn’t have any particular biases for or against the Gibson Library.

I listened to the case for the renovation of the Lincoln school building, looking for the positives and negatives. I was prepared to reject a poorly made case, even if it meant the library board wouldn’t be a good fit for me.

Fortunately, I heard a very good case for a larger, technologically advanced library that will host many programs and community activities, in a renovated building that would make Creston proud. The transformation of Lincoln School into the modern, encompassing Creston Area Library and Cultural Center will be in the best interests of this good city.

I’ve heard many vocal opponents of the move, and while I’ve found their points to be unconvincing, I can see one big question that sticks out and produces the most opposition, and it’s the issue of money. People are convinced that a) this project will use taxpayer dollars and b) that’s a bad thing.

Let me address point “b” first. Is using city taxpayers’ money a bad thing?

Almost nobody truly believes this. When it comes to programs we support, we’re very much happy to see taxpayer dollars spent. We’re united by disliking paying taxes, but divided about where to spend them.

However, back to to point “a”: We can do this without taxpayer money.

Thanks to Mandy Kolesik of Marketing Kinetics in Lamoni, who many in town have gotten to know, we have an experienced fundraiser who is able to draw in money from national groups as well as local ones.

By making our plans more ambi-

tious, we are getting the attention of large foundations and corporations who are interested in more than a new paint job. Mandy has provided the library board with an extensive and detailed plan to raise every last dollar directly from donors rather than asking for a city grant.

I feel that the wind is changing direction, and that the more people learn about our plans, the more they’re likely to support it. We’ve interviewed the public, listened to them, and incorporated new ideas into the design of the library. Naysayers are turning neutral, neutrals are turning positive, and positives are turning into champions for the cause.

I embrace a future in which the Creston Area Library and Cultural Center adds to the value of our city, increases child literacy, and hosts community activities. I see a place for all generations to meet, interact, and forge together a brighter future for Creston so that it can continue to be a beacon for southwest Iowa.

Join us in making that happen.

Thank you class of 1974 From Deb Loudon

Treasurer for class of 1974, Creston

I would like to publicly thank several people who were instrumental in making the class of 1974’s 40th class reunion a success.

If it weren’t for those who came to the meetings, made phone calls, provided names and addresses, did research on finding classmates,

provided food, provided the venue, took photos, had signs made, provided a lowboy or donated a door prize for our reunion, it wouldn’t have been such a success! I hope I don’t leave anyone out!

A big thanks to: Lisa and John Shaw, Phil Kenealy, Mary Downing, John Kawa, Dave Buck, Mike Seddon, Jo Wallace, Denise Moore, Gary Bailey, Paul Baker,

Roger Mclntire, Nancy Amdor, Dan Hayes and the Twilight Zone, Greg Driskell, Barb Coenen and Maple Street Memories, Pattie Rouh, John Schmoll, Chris Lane, Elm’s Club, Rick and Teresa Foote, Sue White, BIythe Waltersdorf, Mary Eagan, Darlene Loudon and Ellen Gearhart.

Hope everyone had a great time.

See you in five.

Is Lincoln School really a safe place for our new library?

From Betty Lynam Creston

Editor’s note: In this letter to the editor published Tuesday, a sentence was inadvertantly left out of the last paragraph. Here is the letter in its entirety.

During school season at dismissal time, I was driving east on Adams Street. I have to stop for a crossing guard at the corner

of Adams and Peterson Street.

I turned right, not noticing that there were two school buses sitting on the right side of Peterson Street by Lincoln School.

I could not go around the buses as the STOP arm was extended. Kids are everywhere on the sidewalks, in the streets and yard. Numerous people in cars were there to pick up their chil-

dren. What a mad house! Would this continue to happen if the library were there? (The building was empty at this time.)

Where would you park? The library has its own parking lot.

Buses don’t load and unload there.

Maybe we should think of the safety, for our kids and the neighbors.

Wonderful wicker Dear Heloise: I have some WICKER FURNITURE. It is dirty, and I was wondering what is the best way to clean it. — Cheryl, via email Wicker is wonderful! If it’s indoor furniture, then all you need to do is pull out your vacuum and use the brush/ upholstery attachment. Also, take the furniture outside if you can, and turn it upside down to really shake loose some of the dust. If it needs a deeper clean, mix 2 pints of cool water and 1 tablespoon of salt, and apply to the wicker using a damp sponge or microfiber cloth. Don’t overwet; just wipe. After the solution has dried, scrub with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse with clean water on a clean cloth and let dry.

This should get your wicker clean. For the future, dust or vaccum the piece often to keep dirt and dust from accumulating. — Heloise RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION Dear Heloise: A friend has an elderly mother who can no longer safely drive.

Extension KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has agreed to a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs announced the deal Wednesday night.

The two-year extension runs through the 2017 season, sources said, although the team didn’t disclose terms of the contract.

The six-year NFL veteran ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year to help the Chiefs reach the playoffs. He also had 70 catches for 693 yards and seven more TDs as Kansas City went 11-5 before losing to Indianapolis in an AFC wildcard game.

Suspension CHICAGO — San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin was suspended 25 games by Major League Baseball on Wednesday for testing positive for an amphetamine.

Maybin said in a statement released by the Major League Baseball Players Association the failed test was the result of a change in the medication he was using to treat Attention Deficit Disorder.

Under the drug agreement between MLB and its players’ union, 25 games is the penalty for a second positive amphetamine test. A first positive results only in six unannounced follow-up tests over the next year.

Rays hot ST. LOUIS — The red hot Tampa Bay Rays stayed that way and finished a two-game series sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 3-0 win on Wednesday night.

Starting pitcher Alex Cobb helped his own cause with an RBI double in the second inning, and it stayed there all the way into the 7th.

Evan Longoria’s sacrifice fly made it 2-0 before Brandon Guyer singled in the third and final run of the game in the ninth.

Cobb backed that up with seven strong shutout innings where he struck out 10 and walked none.

Jake McGee earned his ninth save by striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth.

The Cardinals managed just five hits in the game and gave little support to Lance Lynn, who went 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out seven and walking three.

St. Louis is off on Thursday before returning to play in Chicago against the Cubs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Colon sharp SEATTLE — Bartolo Colon watched the line drive fall into the outfield grass and applauded. It was all Colon could do after his attempt to toss the first perfect game in New York Mets history was thwarted.

Colon came within seven outs of a perfect game on Wednesday afternoon, before giving up a twoout single to Robinson Cano in the seventh inning of the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Members of the Clarke softball team gather at home plate to greet teammate Carley Robins after Robins hit a two-run home run in Monday’s 13-0 win over Spirit Lake in a Class 3A quarterfinal at the State Softball Tournament. The Lady Indians play Greene County at 7:30 p.m. in a Class 3A semifinal.

Lady Indians prepare for Greene County

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — After Monday’s impressive 13-0 win over Spirit Lake propelled the Clarke Lady Indians into tonight’s semifinal game against Greene County, the Lady Indians find themselves just one step away from playing for a state title.

But head coach Lindsay Diehl said her team must flush Monday’s performance from its mind in order to be prepared for tonight’s 7:30 matchup on the INS Field (Diamond 2) at Harlan Rogers Sports Complex.

“We talk about flushing things, good and bad things,” Diehl said on Wednesday. “Yeah, we won 13-0 on Monday, but we can’t take that to

Thursday. We have to focus and be ready to show up to the ballpark tomorrow night.”

Clarke, now 25-8 for the season, takes on a team that has momentum on its side.

Greene County comes in having won 16 of its last 18 games, knocking off several ranked teams along the way, including a 2-0 win over sixth-ranked Center Point-Urbana in Monday’s quarterfinals.

“Reading the (Fort Dodge Messenger) article about Greene County, about how they’re not d o n e knocking off ranked teams,” D i e h l said. “We had a Diehl

good conversation about coming to play. They have nothing to lose. You have to respect a team like that.

When things are clicking and they’re playing for the love of the game, crazy things happen.”

Strong lineup Greene County managed just four hits in its win over Center Point-Urbana, but got a solo home run from junior pitcher Marissa Promes in the fifth inning, as well as an RBI single from Kayla Mobley in the sixth inning.

As a team, the Rams have eight regulars in the lineup who hit better than .300 for the season. Nine players have at least 14 RBI, with five of those players driving in at least 21 runs.

Leading the Rams’ offensive charge is junior

Hannah Onken, who is batting .314 with four home runs and 31 RBI. But Clarke will counter that potent lineup with one of the state’s premier pitchers in Libby Bemis, who pitched just the 13th perfect game in state tournament history in Monday’s quarterfinal win.

“Looking at their schedule, I think it’s going to play in our favor,” Diehl said. “Libby loves playing people we haven’t seen before.”

Bemis sports a record of 24-3 this season, striking out 223 batters in 168 innings pitched, w h i l e Bemis sporting a

sparkling earned run average of 1.12 for the season.

Greene County features a strong pitcher of its own in Promes.

Promes is 24-4 for the season, having struck out 214 batters in 190 1/3 innings pitched. Her ERA sits at 1.40.

Diehl had the opportunity to scout Promes and the rest of the Rams during their 2-0 win over Center Point-Urbana.

“I stood right behind home plate, just to see the spin on her ball and see what she was doing,” Diehl said. “Looks like she tries to mix a riseball with a little bit of a curveball. I feel like we’ll be able to stay with the pitch. We talk all the time about adjustments Please see CLARKE, page 10A

Fulton show in Des Moines, Fulton learned how to bowl in Creston as a youth in the alley under the Eagles Lodge. He started league bowling in the early 1980s.

He’s had two 300 games.

Fulton has been president and vice president of TGIF League at Pine Valley.

DES MOINES—State and national scientists are working to identify a fish found in the Mississippi River recently that, if proven to be what it is thought, would be the first time in more than 80 years the species has been confirmed in Iowa.

Iowa DNR fisheries staff collecting fish for a fishing clinic in early July captured what is believed by state and national authorities to be a longear sunfish.

“If this proves to be a longear sunfish it will be the first time since 1932 the species has been positively identified in Iowa,” said DNR fisheries technician Adam Thiese, who

collected the fish. “How it got here and where it came from remains to be determined. For those that work in the fisheries field, both state and nationally, anytime an uncommon species can be documented, it’s an exciting discovery.”

Leading national ichthyologists believe it is a longear sunfish. A fin clip has been collected to verify. Once listed as common in bayous around Muscatine, they have been extirpated from the state for more than eight decades.

The fish is being held alive by the DNR until it can be positively identified.

Jeff’s journey

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

Getty Images/RAINIER EHRHARDT

Don’t tell Tony to give it a rest.

Has it really been 20 years since the first Brickyard 400?

GODSPEAK: I wonder if 20 years from now Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart show up at Indy with crew chief Morgan Shepherd for the race?

KEN’S CALL: Yes, and what’s more amazing, you can still find Hoosier race fans angry about the “taxi-cab experiment.”

Tony Stewart back in a sprint car … surprised?

GODSPEAK: Tony says his broken leg was a freak accident, and you have to believe it won’t happen again.

KEN’S CALL: Even if he didn’t want to, he’d do it just to prove a point.

Besides, he still has one good leg.

Jeff Gordon will tell you that winning the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994 helped transform him into a stock-car superstar — a young Californiaborn upstart who locked horns with NASCAR’s established competitors, such as the late Dale Earnhardt.

Gordon won the first 400 two days after his 23rd birthday and became the first NASCAR driver to utter the most famous words in sports: “I’m going to Disney World.”

Now a week shy of his 43rd birthday, Gordon will return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the last full-time Cup Series driver to compete in every 400 since the race was added to the schedule.

To his credit, Gordon will arrive in Gasoline Alley as the Cup Series points leader and with a guaranteed berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup playoffs.

He has always performed well at the 2.5-mile rectangle, which hosted its first motor race more than 100 years ago.

Gordon was born in Vallejo, California, but spent many of his teen years in Pittsboro, Indiana, about an hour from the big track.

Hoosiers call him one of their own, which is why the crowd went so wild the day he won the 1994 Brickyard 400.

“Most of the things that stand out to me was really about just the madness and craziness of how big that event was, how popular it was among fans, not just traditional NASCAR fans but new fans to the sport,” Gordon said.

“Even if you go back to the test that we had, the fans were just lined up on the fence around the garage area just wanting to see stock cars race at Indianapolis, and it was much of the same when it came to race day, just so many fans and you just couldn’t walk anywhere without getting mobbed.”

Gordon won four of the first 11 Brickyard 400s. His Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson now carries the Indy torch with a record-tying four wins since 2006.

Gordon hopes to break that tie this weekend.

“With the type of season that we’re having, I’m extremely excited about going to Indianapolis,” Gordon said. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years, but I’m looking forward to celebrating those 20 years hopefully with another win.”

INDY CHAMPIONSHIP Take a list of NASCAR Cup Series champions over the past two decades and put it side by side with Brickyard 400 winners from those same years and the crossover is incredible. In the last 16 years, the 400 winner has captured the NASCAR title 50 percent of the time.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING Tony Stewart has the best average finish at the Brickyard 400 during the past nine years. His average finish is 6.8. Gordon is next at 8.7.

Surprisingly, Johnson, with those four wins since 2006, has an average finish of 13.8.

Associated Press/NAM Y. HUH

Chase Elliott gazes into a very bright future.

Who’ll make room for Chase Elliott in the Cup Series?

That’s the only question to ponder nowadays, since it’s clearly evident that Bill’s boy is fast-tracking to the big leagues. Chase’s latest addition to the resume was last weekend’s victory at Chicagoland. Problem is, he’s under contract to Rick Hendrick, and unless Jeff Gordon is ready to spend all of his weekends in Manhattan (nope, not the one in Kansas), there’s no room at the inn. Of course, with “satellite teams” and whatnot, things have a way of working out.

Who’s Joyce Julius, and why does she watch so much TV? The Michigan-based media research firm of Joyce Julius and Associates has counted the number of times each driver has been mentioned on TV this year, and while Junior leads in total interview time (26-plus minutes), he’s fifth in total mentions.

Let me guess, Danica is No. 1?

Surprise! She’s not even in the top 10, according to Joyce Julius’ team of couch taters (oops, researchers).

Kevin Harvick leads in mentions (2,533), with Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski and Junior next. Joyce Julius calculates the value of all this exposure, NASCAR teams collect the numbers, they go to some corporation’s marketing director and ask, “Look at these numbers. Surely you want to pay for more than a sticker on our quarter panel.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

RICKY STENHOUSE JR.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. vs. Juan Pablo Montoya: On the first lap of the 2013 Brickyard 400, Montoya got into Stenhouse and crashed the rookie out.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Montoya is coming back to race this week, and it will be interesting to see if the sophomore Stenhouse has a long memory.”

Jack Roush years with the Ford Racing In the course of his racing career, Jack Roush has won hundreds of races and been involved in just as many post-race press conferences.

To recognize his 50 years as part of the Ford family, Ford Racing compiled a list of his most memorable quotes.

After Greg Biffle won at Michigan in 2004, Roush was asked how hard it was to get five cars running well.

you can’t get lost in conjecture, you can’t get lost in rumor.

“You’ve got to take things apart and decide what you know to be true and what confuses you and deal with things analytically that are confusing.”

One of the perks to winning at Texas Motor Speedway is you get a cowboy hat. Roush started laughing when he was asked about how his fit after Greg Biffle won there in 2005.

Emergency starter Anthony Swarzak lifts Twins over Indians

By MEGAN RYAN Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Anthony Swarzak has been begging for a start for the nearly two years since his last one. So much so, that it became a running joke in the clubhouse and a source of friendly teammate teasing.

The Twins righthander probably wasn’t expecting to have the last laugh in the form of a notice that he was starting a little more than 12 hours before Wednesday’s game.

But Swarzak stepped up to the quick turnaround, pitching the Twins to a 3-1 series-clinching victory over the Cleveland Indians before an announced 34,608 Wednesday at Target Field.

“It was a relief,” said Swarzak, who had made 78 consecutive relief appearances since his last start for the Twins, which came in the second-to-last game of the 2012 season. “I’ve been waiting to get a start, and if that’s the way I’ve got to get starts, that’s fine.”

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he wasn’t too concerned about

fielding Swarzak on such short notice because the 28-year-old lets him know constantly how available he is.

“It’s an everyday thing,” Gardenhire said. “ ‘I’m here if you need me. I can start. Whatever you need, I’m good to go.’ ” Swarzak began his Twins career as a starter in 2009, but over the past three years he primarily has served as a safety-net long reliever. Getting the call Wednesday after Kyle Gibson was scratched because of a stiff back, Swarzak (2-0) threw 74 pitches, including 51 strikes, in five innings, giving up a run on two hits and a walk with three strikeouts.

He was only expected to make 60 pitches in four innings, but Gardenhire was comfortable stretching Swarzak out after seeing how he performed.

“He had all of his pitches,” Gardenhire said. “He mixes pitches really well.

He’s deceptive. He has a slow windup and then the ball comes out pretty good.”

White House working on new birth control insurance rule The Obama administration plans to make another change in the rules governing how employer health care plans cover birth control, one in a long series of efforts to accommodate religious objections to some contraceptives.

Details of the new rules will not be set for a few weeks, a senior administration official told reporters in Seattle, where President Obama was attending Democratic fundraisers Tuesday.

The Justice Department announced the general outline of the change in a filing with a federal appeals court ear-

lier in the day.

Nonprofit religiously affiliated employers such as colleges, hospitals and charities are required to provide contraceptive coverage as part of whatever health plans they offer. But if the organization objects on religious grounds to some or all methods of birth control, the current rules provide an exemption.

The rules require the employer to file a form with the government giving notice of its objection as well as the name of its insurer. The insurance company is then supposed to step in to offer

the birth control coverage on its own at no extra cost to covered individuals.

Insurers have been willing to go along with that plan so far on the grounds that covering birth control saves them money in the long run by avoiding costly pregnancies.

Dozens of religiously affiliated employers have challenged that rule in court, saying that filling out the form would violate their religious convictions by making them complicit in the insurers’ decisions to provide birth control coverage.

Early this month, the Supreme Court gave Wheaton College, an evangelical Christian school near Chicago, permission not to file the form, at least for the time being. A majority of the justices said that until Wheaton’s lawsuit was resolved, the government must allow the school to provide its notification in some other fashion.
